(PEC07- 0006) Applicant: Vail Resorts Development Corp. Planner: George Ruther 1. SUMMARY The applicant, Vail Resorts Development Company (VRDC), is requesting a final review of a development review application intended to facilitate the development of Vail's Front Door project. The purpose of the application is to amend the grading plan for the Vista Bahn ski yard, relocate the entrance/exit to the underground access tunnel and maintain the location of the Vista Bahn chair lift. Staff has reviewed the application and is recommending that the Planning and Environmental Commission approves with conditions the applicant's request. Staffs recommendation is based upon the review of the applicable criteria, as outlined in the Town of Vail Zoning Regulations and the evidence and testimony presented. Ii. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST The applicant, Vail Resorts Development Company (VRDC), is requesting a final review of a development review application intended to facilitate the development of Vail's Front Door project. The purpose of the major amendment to the Approved Development Plan is to: 1) Revise the grading plan for the Vista Bahn ski yard; 2) Relocate the entrance/exit to the underground access tunnel approximately 9 feet; and, 3) Maintain the location of the Vista Bahn chair lift rather than relocating it as originally contemplated. A copy of the reduced plans has been attached for reference. Upon consideration of the development review application, the action requested of the Commission by the applicant and staff is to either, approve, approve with conditions, or deny the applicant's request. 1. III. BACKGROUND On September 22, 2003, the Town of Vail Planning & Environmental Commission adopted an Approved Development Plan for Vail's Front Door project. The purpose of the Plan is to facilitate the redevelopment of the Vista Bahn ski yard. Since the adoption of the Plan, the Town of Vail Community Development Department has issued a building permit allowing for the construction of Vail's Front Door project. Construction of the project is currently underway. IV. APPLICABLE PLANNING DOCUMENTS Title 12, Zoning Regulations, Vail Town Code Ski Base Recreation -2 (SBR-2) District 12-8E-18: AMENDMENT PROCEDURES B. Major Amendments: Major amendments are any proposal to change uses; increases to residential floor area greater than 5% of the approved square footage, increases to retail, office, or common floor area greater than 5 % of the approved square footage, increases or decreases to the number of dwelling, accommodation, or fractional fee club units, any request to modify, enlarge or expand the boundary of an approved development plan and any amendment to the approved development plan that is not a minor amendment as determined by the Administrator and defined in this Article 2. Requests for major amendments to an approved development plan shall be evaluated based upon the degree of deviation of the amendment from the basic intent and character of the approved development plan and reviewed in accordance with the procedures described in Section 12-8E-7 of this Article. All major amendments shall be indicated on a completely revised development plan. Approved changes shall be noted, signed, dated and filed by the Department of Community Development. 3. Owners of all property requesting the amendment, or their agents or authorized representatives, shall sign the application. Notification of the proposed amendment shall be made to owners of all property adjacent to the property requesting the proposed amendment, owners of all property adjacent to the district, and owners of all property within the district that 2 may be affected by the proposed amendment (as determined by the JW%X Department of Community Development). Notification procedures shall be as outlined in subsection 12-3-6C of this Title. Vail Village Master Plan As noted on page 35 of the Master Plan, "it is important to note that the likelihood of project approval will be greatest for those proposals that can fully comply with the Vail Village Master Plan." Staff believes this statement re-emphasizes that the Master Plan is a general document providing advisory guidelines to aid the Town in analyzing development proposals and that full compliance is not required in order for a project to be approved. FRONT DOOR SUB-AREA (#11) The following is language describes the Front Door Sub-Area: The Front Door sub-area plays a critical role in the interface between the ski mountain and the fabric of Vail Village. As the premier guest portal to Vail Mountain, the Front Door area should reflect in both use and design the world-class stature of the Vail resort and community. The goals for development in this sub-area are as follows: • To provide for a year-round, world-class guest experience at the interface between Vail Village and the ski mountain. • To provide new and improved guest service facilities at the top of Bridge Street that will not only improve the quality of the entire guest experience, but will increase evening guest retention in Vail Village. • Provide for new below-grade loading and delivery facilities to better serve the Front Door and upper Bridge Street areas, consistent with the overall "dispersed quadrant" approach of the Vail loading and delivery master plan. • To provide a venue for outdoor culturallart and sporting events and other similar special community events. • Provide for the removal of surface vehicular traffic and parking that currently occurs within the sub-area. • To provide for limited (6-10 dwelling units/acre) medium density residential development. • With the exception of development that may be approved within Sub-Area Concepts 11-1 and 11-2, the balance of the Front Door Sub Area should remain in a predominantly undeveloped, open space condition. The Front Door Sub-area includes two Sub Area Concepts. Please refer to the Vail Village Master Plan Action Plan for a graphic depiction of these concepts. 3 #11-1 Lodge Exchange Parcel Limited development of this site provides an opportunity to consolidate and/or remove existing uses and in doing so improve the visual quality of this area. Medium density residential development and associated uses respecting and complimenting the adjacent Lodge at Vail, Lodge Tower, and Vista Bahn ski yard are appropriate. Most parking except temporary guest arrival spaces should be located below grade. Existing mountain and USFS access should be maintained and if feasible placed below grade throughout the parcel. To the extent feasible, service and delivery facilities, including existing service and delivery facilities for the Lodge Tower, the Lodge at Vail, and surrounding commercial uses should be located below grade. A pedestrian/bicycle connection between Willow Circle/Vail Road and the Vista Bahn ski yard should be retained. Development of this sub-area will attract additional traffic and population to this area and may have significant impacts on sub area 1- 12 (Willow Circle). V. VI. # 11-2 The Vista Bahn Park Redevelopment of ski yard should improve and emphasize the connection between the Vista Bahn lift area (the mountain) and the lower skier plaza area (the village). Opportunities exist to re-grade the ski yard to improve access and usefulness of the site. Existing modular ski storage structures in the ski yard should be replaced with new skier/guest service facilities to improve year-round use of the area and to encourage summer season usage. If developed, the scale of a skier/guest service building should be limited to one-story as viewed from the skier plaza area. SURROUNDING LAND USES AND ZONING Land Use Zoning North: Mixed Use Commercial Core 1 South: Open Space Resource (Eagle County) East: Residential Two-Family Primary/Secondary West: Residential Two-Family Primary/Secondary CRITERIA AND FINDINGS FOR REVIEW 3) Approved Development Plan The following design criteria shall be used as the principal criteria in evaluating the merits of a proposal to amend an Approved Development Plan. It shall be the burden of the applicant to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that the submittal material and the proposed amendment complies with each of the following standards, or demonstrate that one or more of them is not applicable, or that a practical solution consistent with the public interest has been achieved: A. Compatibility: Design compatibility and sensitivity to the immediate environment, neighborhood and adjacent properties relative to 4 architectural design, scale, bulk, building height, buffer zones, identity, character, visual integrity and orientation. The proposed amendment to the Approved Development Plan is consistent in design, character, and mass with the Town's Design Guidelines and with neighboring uses and structures. B. Relationship: Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible, efficient and workable relationship with surrounding uses and activity. The applicant is not proposing to change any uses, activities, or densities which would negatively affect the compatibility or efficient workable relationship with surrounding uses and activities. The Front Door area is surrounded by a mixture of uses including ski runs and skiing facilities, retail, lodging facilities, and multiple-family/single-family residential dwellings. C. Parking and Loading: Compliance with parking and loading requirements as outlined in Chapter 10 of this Title. The proposed amendment to the Approved Development Plan has no negative impacts on the approved parking and loading facilities. D. Comprehensive Plan: Conformity with Vail Comprehensive Plan, Town policies and urban design plans. The proposed amendment to the Approved Development Plan continues to comply with the Town's master planning documents as applicable to the site. The proposed development plan continues to implement numerous Town policies and goals. E. Natural And/Or Geologic Hazard: Identification and mitigation of natural and/or geologic hazards that affect the property on which the development plan is proposed. Staff continues to believe that the proposed development complies with the intent of the prescribed hazard regulations. F. Design Features: Site plan, building design and location and open space provisions designed to produce a functional development responsive and sensitive to natural features, vegetation and overall aesthetic quality of the community. The proposed amendment to the Approved Development Plan is designed to respond directly to the skier services and activities currently existing in the area and proposed for the site. The proposed plans are responsive and sensitive to natural features, vegetation, and the aesthetic qualities of the community. Vail's Front Door Project site is situated in an area where skiers, shoppers, and residents interface with the Vail Village and the ski mountain. The proposed design responds to this interface to provide order, interest, and vitality. Open space areas are created and preserved as shown on the proposed amendment to the Approved Development Plan. G. Traffic: A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians addressing on and off-site traffic circulation. 5 The Approved Development Plan includes a circulation system designed with both vehicles and pedestrians in mind. The on-site circulation system provides for a mostly separated pedestrian and vehicular system. The bulk of cars and trucks enter the site through a subsurface tunnel to parking and loading areas. Pedestrians are provided pathways on the surface of the site in efficient and logical locations. While there is some intermingling of pedestrian and vehicular traffic on the surface of the site, the type of vehicular traffic in very minor and similar to that found in low-density residential areas throughout the Town of Vail. The amendment to the Plan includes a request to shift the east entrance/exit of the access tunnel for the Forest Service road nine feet (9') to the south. The purpose of the shift is to increase the width of the pedestrian walkway/bike path adjacent to the skier services building. The shift in location does not negatively impact the location of the road on the property or the location of the road within the easement. H. Landscaping: Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in order to optimize and preserve natural features, recreation, views and function. The proposed amendment to the Approved Development Plan maintains a significant amount of open space areas and landscape treatment. The open space areas created will provide for and maintain public views of the ski mountain as well as provide adequate open areas necessary for running a ski base facility and ski lift area. 1. Workable Plan: Phasing plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a workable, functional and efficient relationship throughout the development of the development plan. The amendment to the Approved Development Plan does not impact the phasing or construction timing of this project. Therefore, the amendment maintains a workable, functional, and efficient relationship among the planned uses. J.Annexed Lands: Conformity with the terms of an annexation agreement and demonstration of a compelling public benefit which furthers the public interest. The amendment to the Approved Development Plan does not impact the annexation which has already been approved by the Town of Vail. VII. STAFF RECOMMENDATION The Community Development Department recommends that the Planning and Environmental Commission approves with condition(s) the request for a final review of a major amendment to the Approved Development Plan, pursuant to Section 12-8E-18 (B), Major Amendments, to allow for a revised grading plan at Vail's Front Door Vista Bahn Ski Yard, located at 151 Vail Lane/Lot A, Block 5C, Vail Village Filing 1, and setting forth details in regard thereto. Staffs recommendation of approval is based upon the review of the evidence presented and the testimony provided at the public hearings on these requests. 6 Should the Commission choose to approve the applicant's request, staff recommends that the following findings of fact be made as part of the motion: `That the applicant has proven by a preponderance of the evidence and testimony presented before the Planning and Environmental Commission at a public hearing, that the submittal material, as presented, and the development plan, as proposed, comply with each of the design criteria outlined in Section 12-8E-9 of the Zoning Regulations, or has demonstrated that one or more of the criteria is not applicable to the proposed development, or has demonstrated that a practical solution consistent with the public interest has been achieved as a result of the proposed development plan. Furthermore, in keeping with the adopted purpose statement of the Ski Base Recreation - 2 zone district, as prescribed in Section 12-8E-1, of the Zoning Regulations, due to the likelihood of the district being located at the base of Vail Mountain, and upon some of the most critical and important lands to the future success and resort character of the Town, development within the district shall be evaluated based upon its ability to meet the specific purposes of the Zoning Regulations and to provide "compelling public benefits which further the public interests" that go beyond any economic benefits to the landowner, the Commission finds that the applicant has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Commission, that the proposed development plan for Vail's Front Door Project, will provide compelling public benefits which further the public interests. Specifically, the Commission finds that the proposed amendment to the Approved Development Plan for Vail's Front Door. Project furthers the development objectives of the Town as outlined in the applicable elements of the Vail Comprehensive Plan and provides benefits and amenities that will serve the residents, guests ,and community at-large, both now and into the future." Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to approve the three development review applications, as proposed, the staff recommends that the Commission make the following conditions part of the approval: 1. That the Developer prepares- a Vista Bahn Ski Yard Use Agreement outlining the terms and conditions allowing public use of the ski yard for special events. The Agreement shall be submitted to the Town of Vail Community Development Department for the review and comment of the Town of Vail Commission on Special Events. The Agreement shall be completed prior to the issuance of a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy for the Vail's Front Door Project improvements. 7 P:\TOV990041dwg\Master\EXIST-CONDITIONS.dwg, 1115;2007 1.55:16 PM, herbst C D r S 4 D D z D O m I 29 Jr- & I/ / z ~_-tea' I)' ' A /d qFy% Q - q ; E- - f oruwiNC No: VISTA- BAHN-SKI-YARD Vail s Front Door EXISTING-CONDITIONS It'.:~.+:.
